Gibson has in the past voted to repeal the act. He also voted last year for a Republican-sponsored budget resolution, authored by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, that replaced Medicare’s fee-for-services model with one of premium support, in which the government’s costs fall dramatically but seniors would eventually find their benefits capped.

Both Democrats and Republicans have predicted that Obamacare, which was upheld last week by the Supreme Court, will bolster their side in the upcoming elections.

Gibson’s Democratic opponent in the 19th district, which covers the Hudson Valley and Catskills, is Kingston attorney Julian Schreibman.

Here’s the script and audio from the robocall.

Hi, this is Louise from the DCCC calling with a warning. Congressman Chris Gibson has gone Washington. After taking more than $58,000 from insurance companies, Congressman Gibson wants to put insurance companies back in charge of our health care and let them:

– deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions like asthma, heart disease and cancer,

– cut back your health benefits,

– throw some kids off their parents’ insurance,

– and roll back prescription coverage for seniors.

Congressman Gibson already voted for deep cuts to Medicare to fund more tax breaks for millionaires and corporations. He even voted to protect the government healthcare plan for Members of Congress that is funded with your tax dollars. But now he could vote to let insurance corporations cut back your health benefits.

Congressman Gibson is looking out for him and the big insurance corporations that fund his campaign, not the middle class.
